OGLE'S 
PEAISE HYMNS AND EEVIVALIST. 



Covenant Hymn. 

Tune, Mears. C. M. 

1 Come, let us use the grace divine, 

And all, with one accord, 
In a perpetual cov'nant join 
Ourselves to Christ the Lord ; — 

2 Give up ourselves, through Jesus' power, 

His Name to glorify ; 
And promise, in this sacred hour, 
For God to live and die. 

3 The cov'nant we this moment make 

Be ever kept in mind ; 
We will no more our God forsake, 
Or cast his words behind. 

4 We never will throw off his fear, 

Who hears our solemn vow ; 
And if thou art well pleased to hear, 
Come down, and meet us now. 

5 Thee, Father, Son, an^ Tf- fy Ghost, 

Let all our hearts r ' A ; 

Present with the celesuai host, 

The peaceful answer give. 

6 To each the cov'nant blood apply, 

Which takes our sins away ; 
And register our names on high, 
And keep us to that day. 



Trusting Jesus, that Is All.

Trusting, though a stormy wa. 
Even when my faith is small, 
Trusting Jesus, that is all.

Chorus. — Trusting as the moments fly, 
Trusting as the days go by, 
Trusting him, whate'er befall,- 
Trusting Jesus, that is all. 

2 Brightly doth his Spirit shine 
Into this poor heart of mine ; 
While he leads I cannot fall, — 
Trusting Jesus, that is all. 

3 Singing, if my way is clear ; 
Praying, if the path is drear ; 
If in danger, for him call, — 
Trusting Jesus, that is all. 

4 Trusting him while life shall last, 
Trusting him till earth is past — 
Till within the jasper wall — 



Tell Me the Story of Jesus. 

From "The Quiver," by per., p. 52. 

1 Tell me the story of Jesus, 

Write on my heart ev'iy word, 
Tell me the story most precious, 

Sweetest that ever was heard ; 
Tell how the angels in chorus 

Sang as they welcomed his birth, — 
Glory to God in the highest! 

Peace and good tidings to earth. 

Chorus. — Tell me the story of Jesus, 

Write on my heart ev'ry word, 
Tell me the story most precious, 
Sweetest that ever was heard. 

2 .Fasting, alone in the desert, 

Tell of the days that he passed, 
How for our sins he was tempted, 

Yet was triumphant at last ; 
Tell of the years of his labor, 

Tell of the sorrows he bore, 
He was despised and afflicted, 

Homeless, rejected, and poor. 
2 



3 Tell of the cross where they nailed hiin, 

Writhing in anguish and pain, 
Tell of the grave where they laid him, 

Tell how he liveth again ; 
Love in that story, so tender, 

Clearer than ever I see ; 
Stay, let me weep while you whisper, 

Love paid the ransom for Die 

4 >Tis Glory in My Soul. 

From " Songs of Redeeming Love," by per,, p. 69.

All my refuge and my plea ; 

Matchless is thy loving kindness, 

Else it had not stoop' d to me. 

Cho — qi^ 'tis glory ! oh, 'tis glory ! 
Oh, 'tis glory in my soul, 
For I 've touch'd tjje Ikui of his garment, 
And his pow'r dotn i t ake me whole. 

2 Long my heart hath heard thee calling, 

But I thrust aside thy grace ; 

Yet, O boundless condescension ! 

Love is shining from thy face.

Close me safely, sweetly in : 

Saviour, let thy balm of healing, 

Ever keep me free from sin.

Morning, noon, and evening, Unto thee I'll pray. 

2 At the busy noon-tide, Press'd with work and care, 
Then I '11 wait with Jesus, Till he hear my prayer. 

3 When the evening shadows Chase away the ligh'. 
Father, then I'll pray thee, Bless thy child to-night.

In its shadowy evening, Ever will I pray.

Jesus, come and fill me now ; 

Fill me with thy hallowed presence,- 
Come, oh, come and fill me now. 

2 Thon canst fill me, gracious Spirit, 

Though I cannot tell thee how ; 
But I need thee, greatly need thee, 
Come, oh, come and fill me now. 

3 I am weakness, full of weakness ; 

At thy sacred feet I bow ; 
Blest, divine, eternal Spirit, 

Fill with power, and fill me now. 

4 Cleanse and comfort ; bless and save me ; 

Bathe, oh, bathe my heart and brow ; 
Thou art comforting and saving, 
Thou art sweetly filling now. 

I Never Will Leave Him More. 

From "The Garner," by per., p. 57. 

1 I am weeping with godly sorrow, 

Yes, weeping repentant tears, 
O er a life I have spent in folly ; 

Alas, for its wasted years ! 
But if now I may find the Saviour 

I slighted so oft before, 
If he only will grant me pardon, 

I never will leave him more. 

Ref.— I never will leave him, 

I never will leave him more ; 
I '11 cling to the cross of my Saviour, 
And never will leave him more. 

2 I am troubled and heavy-hearted, 

No refuge on earth for me ; 
4 



I must perish without my Saviour, 
And what will my portion he ! 

I will go, though my sins are many, 
And lay them at Mercy's door ; 

And if Jesus will own and bless me, 
I never will leave him more. 

I believe that his grace can save me, 

And why do I yet delay ? 
He has promised to those that seek him, 

They shall not be turned away ; 
I will go, though the most unworthy 

Of any who came before ; 
I will hide in the wounds of Jesus, 

And never will leave him more. 



8 Whiter than Snow. 

From "The Garner," by per., p. 54. 

1 Dear Jesus, I long to be perfectly whole ; 
I want thee for ever to live in my soul ; 
Break down ev'ry idol, cast out ev'ry foe ; 
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 

Ref. — Whiter than snow ! yes, whiter than snow ! 

Now wash me, and 1 shall be whiter than snow. 

2 Dear Jesus, let nothing unholy remain ; 
Apply thine own blood, and extract ev'ry stain ; 
To have this blest washing I all things forego, 
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 

3 Dear Jesus, come down from thy throne in the skies, 
And help me to make a complete sacrifice ; 

I give up myself, and whatever I know, 

Now wash me, and 1 shall be whiter than snow. 

4 Dear Jesus, for this I most humbly entreat, — 
I wait, blessed Lord, at thy crucified feet ; 

By faith, for my cleansing I see thy blood flow, 
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 

5 The blessing by faith I receive from above ; 
Oh, glory ! my soul is made perfect in love ; 

My prayer has prevailed, and this moment I know 
The blood is applied, — I am whiter than snow ! 
Ref. — Whiter than snow, yes, whiter than snow 1 

The blood is applied — I am whiter than snow.

9 Stand up for Jesus. 

1 Stand np, stand up for Jesus, 

Ye soldiers of the cross ; 
Lift high his royal banner, 

It must not suffer loss : 
From victory unto victory 

His army shall he lead, 
Till every foe is vanquished 

And Christ is Lord indeed. 

2 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, 

Stand in his strength alone ; 
The arm of flesh will fail you ; 

Ye dare not trust your own ; 
Put on the gospel armor, 

Each piece put on with prayer ; 
"Where duty calls, or danger, 

Be never wanting there. 

2 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, 

The strife will not be long ; 
This day the noise of battle, 

The next the victor's song ; 
To him that overcometh, 

A crown of life shall be ; 
He with the King of glory 

Shall reign eternally. 



10 What a Friend we have in Jesus. 

From "The Ark of Praise," p. 132. 

1 What a Friend we have in Jesus, 

All our sins and griefs to bear ; 
What a privilege to carry 

Everything to God in prayer ! 
O what peace we often forfeit, 

O what needless pain we bear, 
All because we do not carry 

Everything to God in prayer ! 

2 Have we trials and temptations ? 

Is there trouble anywhere ? 
We should never be discouraged, 
Take it to the Lord in prayer. 
6 



Can we find a friend so faithful 
Who will all our sorrows share ? 

Jesus knows our every weakness, 
Take it to the Lord in prayer. 

3 Are we weak and heavy laden, 

Cumbered with a load of care ? 
Precious Saviour, still our refuge, — 

Take it to the Lord in prayer. 
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee ? 

Take it to the Lord in prayer ; 
In his arms he '11 take and shield thee, 

Thou wilt find a solace there.

blood of the Lamb,

I know that the light of His presence 

With me doth continually dwell.

I think of Him all the day long, 
I sing, for I cannot be silent, 

His love is the theme of my song. 

4 I know I shall see in His beauty 

The King in whose law I delight, 

Who lovingly guardeth my footsteps, 

And giveth me songs in the night.

In yonder bright mansion for me, 

And soon with the spirits made perfect, 

At home with the Lord I shall be.

As it comes toward my door ;- 
O my Father, enter quickly, 
Leave me never, never more.

Let thy presence light my way, — 
Let thy loving hand e'er lead me, 
Let me never from thee stray.

Enter quick the open door, 
Let me feel that thou art with me,

Knocks at the door to enter in,

Your soul can have its heav'n below, 
While you are heav'nward going.

To-day for God and heav'n decide,

Keep all the beacons burning ! 
Our God is passing through the land, 
And souls to him are turning.

Oh ! words with heav'nly comfort fraught, 

Whate'er I do, where'er I be, 

Still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me. 

Refrain. — He leadeth me ! He leadeth me ! 

By His own Hand He leadeth me ; 
His faithful follower I would be, 
For by His hand He leadeth me. 

2 Sometimes 'mid scenes of deepest gloom, 
Sometimes where Eden's bowers bloom, 
By waters still, o'er troubled sea, — 
Still 'tis His hand that leadeth me. 

3 Lord, I would clasp Thy hand in mine, 
Nor ever murmur nor repine — 
Content, whatever lot I see, 

Since 'tis my God that leadeth me. 

4 And when my task on earth is done, 
When, by Thy grace, the victory's won, 
E'en death's cold wave I will not flee, 
Since God through Jordan leadeth me.

There sweet shall be thy rest ; 
And every wish be satisfied, 
With full salvation blessed.

And rest on Zion's hill.

From " Songs of Triumph," by per., p. 17.

Who the Saviour obey,

Of a soul in its earliest love.

Thy perfect love now drives away all our fear, 

' And light streaming down makes the pathway 

It is good for us, Lord, to be here. [all clear, 

2 That sweet comfort was mine 
When the favor divine 

I received through the blood of the Lamb ; 

When my heart first believed, 

What a joy I received — 
What a heaven in Jesus' name I 

3 'Twas a heaven below 
My Redeemer to know, 

And the angels could do nothing more 

Than to fall at His feet, 

And the story repeat, 
And the Lover of sinners adore, 

4 Jesus, all the day long, 
Was my joy and my song ; 

O, that all His salvation might see ; 

He hath loved me, I cried, 

He hath suffered and died, 
To redeem even rebels like me.

That the dawn shines out in the darkness drear. 
Cho. — the new, new song I O the new, new song 1 
I can sing it now with the ransomed throng : 
Power and dominion to him that shall reign, 
Glory and praise to the Lamb that was slain 1 
11 



2 There are strains of home that are dear as life, 
And I list to them oft 'mid the din of strife ; 
But I know of a home that is wondrous fair, 
And I sing the psalm they are singing there. 

3 Can my lips be mute, or my heart be sad 
When the gracious Master hath made me glad ? 
When he points where the many mansions be, 
And sweetly says, "There is one for thee" ? 

4 I shall catch the gleam of its jasper wall 
When I come to the gloom of the evenfall ; 
For I know that the shadows, dreary and dim, 
Have a path of light that will lead to Him.

Chorus. — Accept the redemption now offered so free, 
And you will be happj^, oh, try it, and see.

No Saviour to help you, your burdens to bear; 
You ask what delight in his service can be ; 
God grant you the Spirit ! oh, try it, and see ! 

3 What joy you are losing ! reflect and be wise ; 
The faithful are promised a home in the skies ; 
And true to his promise the Saviour will be ; 
Then, let me beseech you, oh, try it and see !

Believe, and sincerely, the truth of his Word ; 
Resolve from this moment his child you will be, 
And he will receive you ; come, try it and see !

For every vain and idle thought, 
And every word I say ?

Coming day ; coming day ; [away ! 

When the heavens and the earth shall pass 
What will you do in that day ? 

2 Yes, every secret of my heart 

Shall shortly be made known, 
And I receive my just desert 
For all that I have done. 

3 How careful then ought I to live ; 

With what religious fear ; 
Who such a strict account must give 
For my behaviour here. 

4. Thou awful Judge of quick and dead, 
The watchful power bestow ; 
So shall I to my ways take heed, — 
To all I speak or do. 
13 



5 If now thou standest at the door, 

let me feel thee near; • 

And make my peace with God, before 

1 at thy bar appear. 

22 What a Eefuge.

rest will be, [me.

In their joyful, joyful haste now are turning ; 
Where their weary, troubled hearts find a sure and 
safe retreat, 
And the blessed lamp of faith still is burning.

Peaceful waters from the pure crystal river, [hide,

And fills us with fears, we triumph by faith ; 
He cannot take from us, though oft he has tried, 
The heart-cheering promise, — the Lord will provide.

The good that we seek we ne'er shall obtain : 
But when such suggestions our graces have tried, 
This answers all questions, — the Lord will provide.

Our trust is all thrown on Jesus' great name : 
In this our strong tower for safety we hide ;

59 Sweet Rest in Eden. 

1 In the sweet fields of Eden, 

Over there, over there ; 
In the sweet fields of Eden, 

Over there, over there. 
Over there, over there, over there, over there, 
In the sweet fields of Eden, over there. 

2 There the Tree of Life is blooming. 

3 There is rest for the weary. 

4 On the other side of Jordan. 

5 You will never have a trial. 

6 Say, brother, will you meet me. 

7 By the grace of God I '11 meet j^ou.

60 Turn to the Lord. 

"Jasper and Gold," p. 134. 

1 Come, ye sinners, poor and needy, 

Weak and wounded, sick and sore ; 
Jesus ready stands to save you, 
Full of pity, love and power, 

He is able, 
He is willing, doubt no more. 

2 Now, ye needy, come and welcome ; 

God's free bounty glorify ; 
True belief and true repentance — 
Every grace that brings you nigh, 

Without money, 
Come to Jesus Christ and buy. 

3 Let not conscience make you linger, 

Nor of fitness fondly dream ; 
All the fitness He requireth 
Is to feel your need of Him, 

This He gives you — 
'Tis the Spirit's glimmering beam. 

4 Come, ye weary, heavy-laden, 

Braised and mangled by the fall, 
If you tarry till you 're better, 
You will never come at all, 

Not the righteous — 
Sinners Jesus came to call. 

5 Agonizing in the garden 

Your Redeemer prostrate lies ; 
On the bloody tree behold him, 
Hear him cry before he dies, 

It is finish'd ! 
Sinners, will not this suffice ? 

Chorus. — Whosoever, whosoever, 

Whosoever will may come, 
Whosoever, saith the Spirit, 
With the Father and the Son ; 
Whosoever, sinner, hear it, 
Whosoever will may come.

My Surety. 

1 Arise, my soul, arise ! 

Shake off thy guilty fears ; 
The bleeding sacrifice 

Iu my behalf appears. 
|| : Before the throne my Surety stands, :| 
My name is written on his hands. 

2 He ever lives above, 

For me to intercede ; 
His all-redeeming love, 

His precious blood to plead. 
|:His blood atoned for all our race,:| 
And sprinkles now the throne of grace. 

3 The Father hears him pray, 

His dear anointed One ; 
He cannot turn away 
The presence of his Son : 

|| : His Spirit answers to the blood, :| 
And tells me I am born of God. 

4 My God is reconciled, 

His pard'ning voice I hear ; 
He owns me for his child ; 

I can no longer fear. 
|| : With confidence I now draw nigh,:| 
And Father, Abba, Father ! cry. 



Come, thou Fount. 

Come, thou fount of every blessing, 

Tune my heart to sing thy grace ; 
Streams of mercy, never ceasing, 

Call for songs of loudest praise. 
Teach me some melodious sonnet, 

Sung by flaming tongues above ; 
Praise the mount ! I'm fixed upon it, 

Mount of God's redeeming love ! 

Here I'll raise my Ebenezer ; 

Hither by thy help I 'm come, 
And I hope, by thy good pleasure, 

Safely to arrive at home. 



Jesus sought me when a stranger, 
Wandering from the fold of God ; 

He, to rescue me from danger, 
Interposed his precious blood. 

3 Oh, to grace how great a debtor 

Daily I 'm constrained to be ! 
Let thy goodness, like a fetter, 

Bind my wandering heart to thee : 
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, — 

Prone to leave the God I love, — 
Here 's my heart : oh, take, and seal it, 

Seal it for thy courts above. 

63 When the Tempest passes over. 

From " Golden Songs," by per., p. 68.

We are sailing to the home of the blest, 
Where the holy angels wait for our coming, 
In the city where the saints sweetly rest. 
Chorus. — When the tempest, passes over, 

We will meet each other there, on the shore. 

2 Millions have already reached the blest harbor, 

And are singing with the loved gone before ; 
Millions more are sailing over the river 
To their mansions on the beautiful shore. 

3 Spread your canvas to the winds ; let the breezes 

Gently waft the noble ship to the shore ; 
All on board are sweetly singing to Jesus, 
Who will bring them to the bright evermore. 

4 When we all are safely landed in heaven, 

We will gladly shout our dangers are o'er ; 
We will walk about the beautiful city, 
And we '11 sing the happy song evermore. 

64 Trusting in the Promise. 

From "The Ark of Praise," l>y per., p. 50. 

1 I have found repose for my weary soul, 
Trusting in the promise of the Saviour.

I will bear my lot in the toil of life, Trusting, etc.

And the loss of all will be highest gain, Trusting, etc. 

3 Oh, the peace and joy of the life I live, Trusting, etc. 
Oh, the strength and grace only God can give, etc.

And begin to walk in the holy way, Trusting, etc. 



65 Lord, have Mercy. 

1 Saviour of sinners, lend thine ear, 

Accept the mourner's plea, 
And listen to my feeble prayer, 
Descend and pardon me. 

Chorus. — Lord, have mercy :|| 
Have mercy on me. 

2 Beneath thy cross I '11 urge my cry, 

Until my soul is free ; 
Both night and clay I groan and sigh, 

Jesus, pardon me ! 

3 'Tis done, 'tis done, I do believe, 

1 feel my soul is free ; 
Thy great salvation I receive, 

Yes, thou hast pardoned me. 

66 Alas ! and did my Saviour bleed I 

1 Alas ! and did my Saviour bleed, 
And did my Sov' reign die ? 
Would he devote that sacred head 
For such a worm as I ? 

Chorus. — Help me, clear Saviour, thee to own, 
And ever faithful be ; 
And when thou sittest on thy throne, 
Lord, remember me. 
40 



2 Was it for crimes that I have done 

He groaned upon the tree ? 
Amazing pity ! grace unknown ! 
And love beyond degree ! 

3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, 

And shut his glories in, 
When Christ, the mighty Maker, died 
For man, the creature's sin. 

4 Thus might I hide my blushing head 

While his dear cross appears, 

Dissolve my heart to thankfulness, 

And melt mine eyes to tears. 

5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay 

The debt of love I owe ; 
Here, Lord, I give myself away, — ■ 
'Tis all that I can do. 



6? Rock of Ages. 

1 Bock of ages, cleft for me, 
Let me hide myself in thee ; 
Let the water and the blood, 

From thy wounded side which flowed, 

Be of sin the double cure, — 

Save from wrath ; and make me pure. 

2 Could my tears forever flow, 
Could my zeal no languor know, 
These for sin could not atone ; 
Thou must save, and thou alone ; 
In my hand no price I bring, 
Simply to the cross I cling. 

3 While I draw this fleeting breath, 
When my eyes shall close in death, 
When I rise to worlds unknown, 
And behold thee on thy throne, 
Rock of Ages, cleft for me, 

Let me hide myself in thee.

Chorus. — Glory, glory, Jesus saves me, 
Glory, glory to the Lamb ! 
Oh, the cleansing blood has reached me, 
Glory, glory to the Lamb !

Simply trusting, I was blest. 

3 Trusting, trusting every moment ; 

Feeling now the blood applied ; 
Lying at the cleansing fountain ; 
Dwelling in my Saviour's side.

I will witness to thy glory 
Of salvation full and free.

From "The Quiver," by per., p. 140.

When will the moment come, 
When 1 shall lay my armor by 
And dwell in peace at home ? 

Cho. — We '11 work till Jesus comes, 

|| : We '11 work till Jesus comes, :| 

And we '11 be gathered home. 
43 



2 No tranquil joys on earth I know, 

No peaceful shelf ring dome, 

This world's a wilderness of woe, 

This world is not my home. 

3 To Jesus Christ I fled for rest ; 

He bade me cease to roam, 
And lean for succor on his breast, 
Till he conduct me home. 

4 I sought at once my Saviour's side, 

No more my steps shall roam : 
With him I '11 brave death's chilling tide, 
And reach my heav'nly home. 

?2 I am glad there is Cleansing. 

From " The Quiver," by per., p. 72. 

1 How bright the hope that Calv'ry brings, 

Where love divine and mercy blends ; 
How full the joy that all may find, 

Where flows the blood can save and cleanse. 
Cho. — I am glad there is cleansing in the blood: f 
Tell the world, all the world, 
There is cleansing in the Saviour's blood. 

2 'Tis there ! 'tis there the soul may go, 

And wash its sins and stains away ; 

Who gives up all, — who comes by faith, 

This cleansing finds without delay. 

3 Why need we struggle on in self, 

We cannot make one black spot white ; 
'Tis Christ's own blood, and that alone, 
Can change and cleanse the heart aright. 

4 I come ! I come ! and glad I am 

That Jesus calls the lost and vile ; 
There thousands have a cleansing found, 
I '11 heed the Saviour's welcome smile. 

73 The Sinner invited. 

1 Sinner come, will jou go ! 

To the highlands of heaven ? 
Where the storms never blow, 
And the long summer's given ; 
44 



Where the bright blooming flowers, 
Are their odors emitting ; 

And the leaves of the bow'rs, 
In the breezes are flitting. 

Where the saints robed in white — 

Cleansed in life's flowing fountain 
Shining beauteous and bright, 

They inhabit the mountain, 
Where no sin, nor dismay, 

Neither trouble, nor sorrow, 
Will be felt for a day, 

Nor be feared for the morrow. 

He '8 prepared thee a home — 

Sinner, canst thou believe it? 
And invites thee to come — 

Sinner, wilt thou receive it ? 
O come, sinner, come ! 

For the tide is receding, 
And the Saviour will soon 

And forever cease pleading. 



74 Cast thy Bread upon the Waters, 

From " The Wells of Salvation,'' by per., p. 122. 

1 Cast thy bread upon the waters, 

Ye who have but scant supply, 
Angel eyes will watch above it ; — 

You shall find it by and by ; 
He who in his righteous balance 

Doth each human action w T eigh, 
Will your sacrifice remember, 

■Will your loving deed repay. 

2 Cast thy bread upon the waters, 

Poor and weary, worn with care, — 
Often sitting in the shadow, — 

Have you not a crumb to spare ? 
Can you not to those around you 

Sing some little song of hope, 
As you look with longing vision 

Thro' faith's mighty telescope? 
45 



3 Cast thy bread upon the waters, 

Ye who have abundant store ; 
It may float on many a billow, 

It may strand on many a shore ; 
You may think it lost forever, 

But as sure as God is true, 
In this life or in the other, 

It will yet return to you. 



■75 What a Gath'ring that will be. 

From "The Quiver," by per., p. 10. 

1 At the sounding of the trumpet, when the saints are 

gathered home, 
We will greet each other by the crystal sea, 
With the friends and all the loved ones there awaiting 

us to come, 
What a gath'ring of the faithful that will be ! 

Cho. — What a gath'ring, gath'ring, 

At the sounding of the glorious jubilee ! 
What a gath'ring, gath'ring, 

What a gath'ring of the faithful that will be ! 

2 When the angel of the Lord proclaims that time shall 

be no more, 
We shall gather, and the saved and ransom'd see, 
Then to meet again together, on the bright celestial 

shore, — 
What a gath'ring of the faithful that will be ! 

3 At the great and final judgment, when the hidden 

comes to light, 
When the Lord in all his glory we shall see ; 
At the bidding of our Saviour, " Come, ye blessed, to 

my right," 
What a gath'ring of the faithful that will be ! 

4 When the golden harps are sounding, and the angel 

bands proclaim, 
In triumphant strains, the glorious jubilee ; 
Then to meet and join to sing the song of Moses and 
the Lamb, 
What a gath'ring of the faithful that will be ! 
46 



76 Let the Master in. 

From " Pure Gold," by per., p. 151. 

1 Once I heard a sound at my heart's dark door, 

And was roused from the slumber of sin ; 
It was Jesus knocked, he had knocked before ; 
Now I said, Bless, d Master, come in. 

Oho. — Then open, open, Open ; let the Master in ; 
For the heart will be bright with a heavenly light 
When you let the Master in. 

2 Then he spread a feast of redeeming love, 

And lis made me his own happy guest ; 
Inmyj;yl thought that, the saints above 
Could be hardly more favored o, blessed. 

3 In the holy war with the foes of truth, 

He's my Shield, he my table prepares, 
He restores my soul, he renews my youth, 
And gives triumph in answer to prayers. 

4 He wiil feast me sti'l with his presence dear, 

And the love In so freely hath given, 
While his promi; e tells, as I serve him here, 
Of the banquet of glory in heaven.

Calling to-day, calling t -day ;

1 Out on the desert, looking, looking, 

Sinner, 'tis Jesus looking for thee ; 
Tcndt rly calling, calling, calling,

Run to him quickly, say to him gladly,

81 The Crimson Stream. 

From "Temple Trio," by per., p. 268. 

1 I stand beside the crimson stream 

That flows from Calvary's mount, 
And long to wash away all sin, 
Within the cleansing fount. 

Cko.— Now wash me, now wash me, 
And cleanse me from sin ; 
Now wash me, now wa-di me, 
And I shall be clean. 

2 The blood of Christ alone will pave 

From guilt, and fear, and care ; 
His blood will sweetly purify, 
AYhen sought in earnest prayer. 

3 I claim the promised blessing now, 

Freedom from every sin, 
The power to lead a holy life, 
With Christ in God shut in. 

4 I sink into the crimson stream, 

Christ's blood is now applied ! 
I rise again, redeemed by him, 
And wholly purified.

And the burden of my heart rolled away,

To me thy loving voice now saith, 
Thy faith hath made thee whole.

*3 Are yon drifting. 

From "Songs of Redeeming Love, No. z," by per., p. 14. 

1 Are you drifting down life's current, 

Drifting on a dangerous tide ? 
Near the rapids' fearful peril 

All unconscious do ye glide ? 
Down the stream of sin and folly, — 

Heeding not the danger near, 
Drifting on in self-complacence, 

Feeling no remorse or fear ? 

Cho. — Hark ! the voice of yonder pilot : 

Cease your drifting, seize the oar ; 
Make the blest, celestial harbor, 
Steer your bark for Canaan's shore. 

2 Down the stream of worldly pleasure 

Drifting, drifting evermore 
T'ward the great, unfai homed ocean, 

Bound for yon eternal shore ? 
Drifting, drifting,' — going, — whither ? 

Aimless, purposeless ;— how vain ! 
To the dark and dread forever ! 

What, oh, what have ye to gain? 

3 Heed, oh, heed the kind monition ! 

Give your aimless wand'rings o'er ; 
Cease to seek in earth your pleasure, 

Head your bark for heav'n's bright shore, 
Take on board the skillful pilot, 

Use the oars of faith and prayer ; 
Then you'll make the port of glory, 

God will guide you safely there.

There I'il repeat the story 

Of Christ's redeeming love : 
I'll join with saints and angels 

To celebrate his fame, 
And through eternal ages 

His praises I'll proclaim, 

Cho.— Singing glory! singing glory! 

I'm on my way to Zion, singing Glory ! 

2 I'm on my way to heaven, 

The place of joy and rest, 
Where perfect peaee is given 

To every troubled breast ; 
The cross no longer bearing, 

I'll lay my burden down, 
With bliss and honor wearing 

A bright, unfading crown, 

3 I'm on my way to Zion, 

The city built on high, 
Jerusalem the joyous, 

Beyond the lofty sky ; 
I'll pass its shining portal, 

Its splendor I'll behold, 
Partake of life immortal, 

And walk its streets of gold. 

85 God so Loved Ihe World. 

From " Temple Trio," by per., p. 42.

His only Sou he gave,

That he gave his only Son, 
That whosoever believeth in him 
Should not perish, should not perish, 

That whosoever believeth in him 
Should not perish, but have everlasting life. 
52 



2 Oh, love that only God can feel, 

And only he can show ! 
Its height and depth, its length and breadth 
Nor heaven nor earth can know ! 

3 Why perish, then, ye ransom'd ones? 

Why slight the gracious call ? 
Why turn from him whose words proclaim 
Eternal life to all? 

4 O Saviour, melt these hearts of ours, 

And teach us to believe 
That whosoever comes to thee 
Shall endless life receive.

For the grace that brought me there. 

3 I hope to meet you all in glory, 

Round the Saviour's throne above ; 
I hope to join the ransom'd army 
Singing now redeeming love. 

4 I hope to meet you all in glory, 

When my work on earth is o'er ; 
I hope to clasp your hands rejoicing 
On the bright eternal shore.

87 Tne Numberless Host. 

From "Temple Trio," by per., p. 102. 

1 When we enter the portals of gl^ry, 

And the great host of ransom'd we see, 
As the numberless sand of the sea-shore, 
What a wonderful sight that will be ! 

Cho. — Numberless as the sand of the sea-shore, 
Numberless as the sand of the shore 
Oh, what a sight 'twill be, 
When the ransom'd host we see, 
As numberless as the sand of the sea-shore. 

2 When we see all the saved of the ages, 

Who from cruel death-partings are free, 
Greeeting there with a heavenly greeting, 
What a wonderful sight that will Le ! 

3 When we stand by the beautiful river, 

'Neath the shade of the life-giving tree, 
Gazing out o'er the fair land of promise, 
What a wonderful sight that will be ! 

4 When we look on the form that redeemed us. 

And his glory and majesty see, 
While as King of the saints he is reigning, 
What a wonderful s'ght that will be ! 

88 Always Abounding. 

From "Temple Trio," by per , p. 87. 

1 Be earnest, my brothers, in word and in deed, 
Be active in reaping and sowing the ^eed ; 
And thus in the vineyard, with Jesus to lead, 

Be always abounding in the work of the Lord. 

Ref. — Be always abounding in the woik of the Loid ;:j| 
Be earnest, be active, relying on his word, 
Be always abounding in the work of the Lord. 

2 Be ready, my brothers, his call to obey, 

In seeking the erring and showing the way ; 
And thus as his servants remember, we pray. 
Be always abounding in the work of the Lor 

3 Be zealous, my brothers, the light to extend, 
And unto all nations the gospel to send ; 
And thus till the harvest in glory shall end, 

Be always abounding in the wo.k of the Lord.

89 His Blood Washes Whiter than Snow. 

From "Songs of Joy and Gladness," by per, p. 252. 

1 I am coming to Jesus for rest, 

Rest such as the purified know, 
My soul is a-thirst to be blest, 

To be washed and made whiter than snow. 

Cho. — I believe Jesus saves, 

And his blood washes whiter than snow. 
I believe Jesus saves, 

And his blood washes whiter than snow. 

2 In coming, my sin I deplore. 

My weakness and poverty show ; 
I long to be saved evermore, 

To be washed and made whiter than snow. 

3 To Jesus I give up my all, 

Every treasure and idol I know ; 
For his fullness of blessing I call, 

Till his blood washes whiter than snow. 

4 I am trusting in Jesus alone, 

Trusting now his salvation to know ; 
And his blood doth so fully atone, 

I am washed and made whiter than snow. 

5 My heart is in raptures of love, 

Love such as the ransomed ones know ; 
I am strengthened with might from above, 
I am washed and made whiter than snow. 

00 More Faith in Jesus. 

From "Temple Trio," by per., p. 181. 

1 While struggling through this vale of tears 

I want more faith in Jesus ; 
Amid temptations, cares, and fears, 
1 want more faith in Jesus. 

Cho.— I want more faith, I want more faith, 

A clearer, brighter, stronger faith in Jesus 
And this my cry, as time rolls by, 
I want more faith in Jesus. 

2 To war against the foes within 

I want more faith in Jesus ; 
To rise above the powers of sin 
I want more faith in Jesus. 
55 



3 To brave the storms that here I meet 

I want more faith in Jesus ; 
To rest confiding at his feet 
I want more faith in Jesus. 

4 I want a faith that works by love, 

A constant faith in Jesus ; 
A faith that mountains can remove, 
A living faith in Jesus. 

91 I Shall Never Know a Sorrow. 

From "'Songs of Perfect Love " by per., p. 25. 

1 We are sweeping through the land, 
With the sword of God in hand, 

We are watching and we're praying, while we fight ; 

On the wings of love we'll fly, 

To the souls about to die, 
And we'll force them to behold the precious light ! 

Cho. — Over there, over there, 

I shall never know a sorrow over there : 
In the streets of shining gold, 
With the glory in my soul, 
I shall never know a sorrow over there ! 

2 Oh, the blessed Lord of light, 
We will serve him with our might, 

And his arm shall bring salvation to the poor ; 

They shall lean upon his breast, 

Know the sweetness of his rest, — 
Of his pardon he the vilest will assure. 

3 We are sweeping on to win 
Perfect vict'ry over sin, 

And well shout our Saviour's praises everrnore : 
When the strife on earth is done, 
And some million souls we've won, 

We'll rejoin our conqu'ring comrades gone before. 

92 He came to Save Me. 

From "Songs of Redeeming Love, No. 2," by per. p. 112, 

1 When Jesus laid his crown aside, 
He came to save me ; 
When on the cross he bled and died, 
lie came to save me. 
5G 



Cho.— I'm so glad, I'm so glad, 

I'm so glad that Jesus came, 
And grace is fiee, 
I'm so glad, I'm so glad, 

I'm so glad that Jesus came, 
He came to save me. 

2 In my poor heart he deigns to dwell, 

He came to save me ; 
0, praise his name, I know it well, 
He came to save me. 

3 With gentle hand he leads me still, 

He came to save me ; 
And trusting him I fear no ill, 
He came to save me. 

4 To him my faith with rapture clings, 

He came to save me ; 
To hira my heart looks up and sings, 
He came to save me. 

93 Sare Me Now. 

From "Temple Trio," by per., p. 362. 

1 Lord, my wayward heart is broken, 

May I come to thee ? 
In thy gentle arms of mercy 
Hiist thou room for me ? 

Cho.— Save me ! save me ! 

Weeping at the cross I bow ; 
Hear my humble supplication, 
Jesus, save me now. 

2 Though I long have grieved thy Spirit, 

Long refused thy grace, 
Do not cast me from thy presence, 
Do not hide thy face. 

3 Could my faith but touch thy garment 

Healed my soul would be ; 
Let thy smile of sweet forgiveness 
Shed one beam for me. 

4 Save me now or I must perish, 

Save me, I implore ; 
Speak those loving words so tender, 
Go and sin no more. 

57 



Stay tfot. 

From " Temple Trio," by per., p. 319. 

1 Jesus is waiting to pave you, 

Bring him your burden of sin ; 
Knock at the portals of mercy, 
Jesus will welcome you in. 

Cho. — Stay not, f tay not, 

Faithful his promise and true ; 
Stay not, stay not, 
Now there is pardon for you. 

2 Come when the morning is brightt st, 

Come in the spring-time of youth, 
Come in the vigor of manhood, 
Drink at the fountain of truth. 

3 Come, and the Saviour will give you 

Life, and its pleasures untold, 
Come, and his mercy will keep you 
Guarded and safe in his fold. 

4 Come, for the moments are flying, 

Come, ere they vanish away ; 
Trust not the dawn of to-morrow, 
Jesus is waiting to-day. 

Wont you love my Jesus. 

From "Temple Trio " by per., p. 157. 

1 I have found a friend divine, 

Wont you love him too ? 
Inra his and he is mine, 
Wont you love him too? 

Cho. — Wont you love my Jesus, 

My precious, precious Jesus ? 
Wont you love my Jesus ? 
He is waiting now for you. 

2 Oh, how clear h : s name to me, 

Wont you love him too ? 
None can save your soul but he, 
Wont you love him too? 

3 Heavy-laden, care-oppressed, 

Wont you love him too? 
How he longs to give you rest 
Wont you love him too? 
58 



4 Cast your burden at his feet, 
Wont you love him too? 
There is pardon pure and sweet, 
Wont you love him too ? 

96 In the Book of Life. 

From "Temple Trio," by per., p. 64. 

1 In tby book, where glory bright 
Shims with never-fading light, 
Where thy saved thou wilt record, 
Write my name, my name, O Lord. 

Cho. — Write my name in the book of life, 
Lamb of God, write it there, 
Where thy saved thou wilt, record, 
Write my name, my name, O Lord. 

2 In the book, whose pages tell 
Who have tried to serve thee well, 
O'er my name let mercy trace, 
Child of God, redeemed by grace. 

3 In the book, where thou dost keep 
Record still of years that sleep, 
Let my name be written clown 
Heir to life s immortal crown. 

4 O my Saviour, thou canst show 
What I long so much to know : 
Let my faith behold and see 
That my l.fe is hid with thee. 

97 Let Him In. 

From "Temple Trio," by per. p. 148. 

1 There's a stranger at the door, let him in, 
He has been there oft before, let him in ; 

Let him in ere he is gone, 
Let him in, the Holy One, 
Jesus Christ, the Father's Son, let him in. 

2 Open now to him your heart, let him in, 

If you wait he will depart, let him in ; 
Let him in, he is your Friend, 
He your soul will sure defend, 

He will keep you to the end, let him in. 
59 



3 Hear you now his loving voice? let him in, 
Now, oh, now make him your choice, let him in, 

He is standing at the door, 
Joy to you he will restore, 
And his name you will adore, let him in. 

4 Now admit the heavenly Guest, let him in, 
He will make for you a feast, let him in, 

He will speak your sins forgiven, 
And when earth ties all are riven, 
He will take you home to heaven, let him in. 

98 Open the Door. 

From "Temple Trio," by per., p. 358. 

1 Jesus, the Saviour, is waiting and knocking, 

Standing to-day at the door of thy heart ; 
Say, wilt thou open and gladly receive him, 
Or wilt thou bid him in sorrow depart ? 

Cho. — Open the door, 'tis the Saviour knocking, 
Patiently knocking to-day at thy heart ; 
Open the door, 'tis the Saviour knocking, 
Knocking, knocking, —must he depart? 

2 Long he has called thee and thou hast refused him, 

Long he has waited thy answer to hear ; 
Still he is knocking; how canst thou be silent? 
Now at this moment thy doom may be near. 

3 What if the lamp of thy life should be darkened? 

What if the Saviour should call thee no more? 
Think of the anguish, thy Spirit appalling, 
Knowing the day of probation is o'er. 

4 While he is calling and waits to be gracious 

Haste to admit him, the warning obey ; 
While he is holding the sceptre of pardon, 
Quickly receive him— no longer delay. 

99 Enthroned is Jesus now. 

From "The Quartet," by per., p. 132. 

1 Enthroned is Jesus now, 
Upon his heavenly seat ; 
The kingly crown is on his brow, 
The saints are at his feet. 
GO 



Cho. -There with the glorified, 

Safe by our Saviour's side, 
I : We shall he satisfied, 
By and by. :|| 

In shining white 1hey stand, 

A great and countless throng ; 
A palmy sceptre in each hand, 

On every lip a song. 

3 They sing the Lamb of God, 

Once slain on earth for them ; 
The Lamb, through whose atoning blood 
Each wears his diadem. 

4 Thy grace, O Holy Ghost, 

Thy blessed help supply, 
That we may join that radiant host, 
Triumphant in the sky. 

100 There's a Yoice in my Heart. 

From "Temple Trio," by per., p. 348. 

1 There's a voice in my heart, and I hear it to-day : 
But why do I linger ? what keeps me away ? 
'Tis Jesus my Saviour, I must not delay, 

Gently he calls, I will go to him now. 

Cho. — Yes, I will go, yes, I will go, 

Lovingly, joyfully, go to him now ; 
Jesus is near, and I koow ho will hear 
If I trustingly go to him now. 

2 There's a voice in my heart, and it whispers to me 
That, if I will trust him, my friend he will be ; 
The print of the nails in his hands I can see ; 

Gently he calls, I will go to him now. 

3 There's a voice in my heart, and how gentle its tone, — 
He waHs to receive me and make me his own ; 

My soul must be saved through his merits alone ; 
Gently he calls, I will go to him now. 

4 Oh, that voice in my heart I will hear and obey, 
I will not reject him, I will not delay ; 

To him, my Redeemer, I hasten to-day, — 
Gently he calls, I will come to him now. 
61 



101 God be with yon. 

From "Temple Trio." p. 293. 

1 God be with you till we meet again, 

By his counsels guide, uphold you, 
With his sheep securely fold you, 
God be with you till we meet again. 

O110. — Till we meet, till we meet, 
Till we meet at Jesus' feet ; 
Till we meet, till we meet, 

God be with you till we meet again. 

2 God be with you till we meet again, 

'Neath his wings securely hide you ; 
Daily manna still provide you, 
God be with you till we meet again. 

3 God be with you till we meet aga'n. 

When life's perils thick confound you ; 
Put his arms unfailing round you, 
God be with you till we meet again. 

4 God be with you till we meet again, 

Keep love's banner floating o'er you, 
Smite death's threatening wave before you, 
God be with you till we meet again.
